"..Dreams like driftwood washed ashore
From the pelagic cumulonimbus realm.."

Imagery and enigma.

Ha..I haven't thought about
Posted on Sun, 09 Feb 2025
Ha..I haven't thought about it in years but I burned all my school books too. In my back garden after the final day.

Another high octane piece.

"...yet still I'm
haunted by past voices that
consume.."

The strange thing about Trump
Posted on Wed, 29 Jan 2025
